Tress of the Emerald Sea

A Cosmere Novel

De: Brandon Sanderson

Narrado por: Michael Kramer

#1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson expands his Cosmere universe shared by The Stormlight Archive and Mistborn with a new standalone novel for everyone who loved The Princess Bride. Narrated by Michael Kramer.

The only life Tress has known on her island home in an emerald-green ocean has been a simple one, with the simple pleasures of collecting cups brought by sailors from faraway lands and listening to stories told by her friend Charlie. But when his father takes him on a voyage to find a bride and disaster strikes, Tress must stow away on a ship and seek the Sorceress of the deadly Midnight Sea. Amid the spore oceans where pirates abound, can Tress leave her simple life behind and make her own place sailing a sea where a single drop of water can mean instant death?

Note from Brandon:

I started writing this in secret, as a novel just for my wife. She urged me to share it with the world—and alongside three other secret novels, with the support of readers worldwide it grew into the biggest Kickstarter campaign of all time. I’m excited to present this first book to you at last: a different type of Brandon Sanderson story, one I wrote when there were no time constraints, no expectations, and no limits on my imagination. Come be part of the magic.

Brilliant writing.

Sanderson just cannot write a bad book! Michael Kramer, again, absolutely sets the standards for what an audio book performance should be.

Whit gets to tell a story

If you’ve read the stormlight archives, then you’ll get most of the references and enjoy a great tale set in the cosmere.

How most of the characters grew into a better version of themselves.

This is probably my least favorite of all the Brandon Sanderson books but I still enjoyed it.

Exceptional writing.

Loved the insights, delightful world, making, and invitation for the mind to grow and the heart to flourish!

Fun story!

Captivating story and narration! Well, done, team!
Stories like this are ones for the ages. I’m excited to share it with my children and their children.

exceptional

I usually enjoy Sanderson's books but this one is a cut above all the rest. I thoroughly enjoyed it start/finish. It is fun, engaging, and the characters are delightful. Plot twist made it a surprise find! (no spoilers; twist is near the end). Narrator has a great delivery, especially for the humor that is embedded throughout.
Enjoy.

Favorite Sea-faring tale

Loved the performance, the comical narrator, the clever imagination of how this planet in the cosmere functions. My favorite standalone of the year so far and my favorite Sanderson novel after Stormlight Archive.

A witty fashion clash of a story

Loved it all from start to finish. Especially the Easter eggs and endless possibilities. Can’t wait to read more from this and adjacent worlds or moons.

Charlie was too weak.

Charlie was too whimpy. He could have shown glimmers of strength earlier in the book.

familiar as a favorite glove and yet so fresh!

Take the plunge and enjoy the wise chucklewortthy adventure. Best road trip ever with this in my ear. Thanks Brandon!
